We're married, now what?
Pre-marriage, Christi & I were not known for long-range planning. As a matter of fact, any plan beyond a month was pretty much "out of scope."
Post-marriage, we initially found ourselves struggling with this. Broad-brushed five-year goals seemed a little too intangible, so we broke it into tasks.... buying a home (at the time we lived in a great log cabin in the redwoods, but our landlord wouldn't part with it) and starting a family were the ones most important to us.
A year later we accomplished the home goal, staying in cozy Mill Valley. A smallish home, but on almost a half an acre and facing national recreation area. Family comes next.
